because if the culture in russia does not change and cultures don't change in two or three years, you will have a generation of orphans who have been punished for no fault of their own. >> translator: well, there is another side of this issue which is rather complex. i would not like to speculate on this matter. but, still, i have to mention it. unfortunately the information which we believe about the fate of russian children adopted in the united states does not make anyone happy. >> meaning what? explain what that means. >> reporter: i will explain. a like number of american families who adopted russian children really provide the correct care, upbringing and education. and in that case they get high marks. this is the highly moral attitude. but unfortunately in our country we know a lot of cases when children adopted by american parents died or were tortured or lost their health in the u.s. and even one such case would be enough to suggest the draft of a law for consideration. >> let me ask you a final question, mr. prime minister. when you were part of one of the world's most over

it will change the world. we'll talk about how. but first here's my take. those of you who followed the show regularly know that i have long argued that cutting government spending if the midst of a weak recovery is not a path toward growth. i have also argued that america has a debt and deficit problem and we need to take it very seriously. the fact is that the vast majority of our problem is related to the cost of health care in america. now the debate over obama care is over, we should start to think seriously of how to get america's health care costs under control. as it turns out a book and magazine story provide ways to think of this. the central debate between republicans and democrats is over whether the free market works well in health care. in a new book catastrophic care, they make the case arguing people need ito become consumers of health care so they, not insurance companies or the government, actually see, feel and pay the bill. that will force producers of health care, doctors and hospitals to push down prices and drive up quality. that's wh

now, the change from then to now is striking and it has been the result of continuous engagement by us with the south koreans through some tremendous ups and downs including jimmy carter who wanted to pull all our troops out. he was so disgusted with the south koreans at that point. but we stuck with them. it hasn't been easy. but the result is a magnificent relationship with a country that president obama thinks of as our most reliable ally in northeast asia. >> i take it you see differently? >> a little bit. first of all, i don't think south korea in 1970s is north korea today. secondly, i'm not against engagement either. i was part of administration that in the second term did reach two agreements with north korea on their nuclear weapons. i think the problem right now is that you cannot engage them directly after they have done a series of ballistic missile and nuclear tests. and we are going into a period of sanctions through the u.n. security resolution and a very difficult period for the next couple of months or so. they don't want to give up their nuclear weapons. they want to

has that fundamental calculus changed? >> i don't think that the calculus has changed. i think the chinese are beginning since about '09 and '10, are beginning to feel their strength and to exhibit it, especially the neighbors. they are furious about the pivot to asia. they seem to be detecting that kerry will not be pivoting quite so much too asia, which will be good for them. but i think they realize that america's most open economy in the world, that they could sell to. it's a place they like to hack into but that they have to preserve relations with it, and i think the next move is actually in president obama's court. what is he going to do about this hacking? >> so do you think we're going down a path of -- you know, the u.s. and china over the obama administration have never managed to work out a particularly good relationship? is it likely to even get worse? >> i think we're in -- we're on the path towards the rocky period. i think we're on the path towards the rocky period partly because of domestic chinese demands. the other slogan that xi jinping has adopted i

if you look at unit labor costs, they've barely changed in italy. where they're down substantially in laplaces like spain and grooens. if you look at the structural reforms, they haven't done that much with all of mario monti's efforts. >> it's very important for people looking at the program to understand how we get there give me ten seconds. when all the crisis hit every country who acted in different ways. you in america, on the left, people occupied whatever it was, free to occupy a tea party on the right, in greece they clash in the square. in france they took to the street. in britain, they enjoy swearing at their bankers. in italy it was very quiet. and people accepted mario monti's bitter medicine. it's the reaction, a bit delayed. they manage to put together, we need to go into structural reform. berlusconi was a disaster. between 2001 and 2011, only a few countries in the world grew less than italy. eritrea and zimbabwe. how is that possible? we sell prada, we sell maserati and ferrari. we're a good big money manufacturer. bigger than brit
